Overview
From Paula Curtis Collection[1]: As part of a MA course hosted by Prof. Dr. Michael Kinski during the winter term 2017/18, students conducted research on old picture maps (ezu) of Edo and Kyôto. Using the experience gained during this course, I completed a term paper called “Shin Tôto Saijiki - Creating a digitally augmented Edo ezu showing the annual events and shrine visits of Saitô Gesshin during the Edo Period” in 2020, which was accompanied by this digitally enhanced map utilizing DemiScript software.
This digital project incorporates both that digitally enhanced map and findings from my term paper to provide the viewer with rich, visual insights into the annual travels across the city of Edo by Kanda ward representitive Saitô Gesshin (1804-1878).
The Bunken Edo oezu : kan / Fusai Mori. Ansei 5 map was published in 1858 by Suwaraya Mohê and created by Mori Fusai and Suwaraya Mohê . The digital version shown here is hosted by the East Asian Library - University of California, Berkely, and presented by utilizing the corresponding IIIF-Manifest from their Japanese Historical Maps collection.
